I rhyme to see myself, to set the darkness echoing. (Seamus Heaney, from Personal Helicon)

City life

Rain on my windscreen;
crooked blue and white light trails –
sirens in the night.

For September Haiku Heights  – today’s prompt is ‘crooked’. That’s it for this year – it’s been fun and challenging as always. Thanks to all at HH for the prompts and comments.

Storm

A child’s eye widens;
jagged sky bites writhing Earth.
Hold my hand.

For September Haiku Heights  – today’s prompt is ‘mother’.
